In the afternoon, Ai Meng went to ask for more ice cubes.
These two days, Consort Dowager was especially afraid of the heat.
After she was done with her work, she walked back to the palace.
When she passed by the imperial kitchen to get the iced bird's nest pear soup that Zhu'er had prepared for the Consort Dowager, she was informed that it had already been taken away.
She knew that both of them had returned!
..
When she returned to the bedroom, she had just entered the main hall when she saw Wu Zhu'er in the inner room. She was serving the Consort Dowager and reporting something at the same time.
The Consort Dowager hadn't had the time to change out of her long robe. It seemed like she had just returned.
Ai Meng never listened to things that she shouldn't hear. Seeing this, she obediently retreated from the main hall and didn't let the other palace maids disturb her.
